Special Remarks
A. Attendance Policy—Attendance is expected in all classes and is required in all dental hygiene
classes (didactic, laboratory and clinic). It is the student’s responsibility
to arrive on time and be prepared for the class. The attendance policy
of the Dental Hygiene Program will be the same as Pueblo Community
College’s with the following additions:
· Any absence must be reported to the program secretary by
8:00 AM
· If any absence occurs during a scheduled test or examination,
the student will be required to complete the said exercise within
one week of the original date. The makeup test must be
scheduled with the course instructor.
· Extended absences for whatever reason will be dealt with on
an individual basis.
· In the event of an absence, the student will be required to
make up class time with an appropriate assignment as
designated by the course faculty.
B. Late Work:
There will be a 1% penalty per day for all late assignments turned in after the due date. After one week, a 0 will be counted for that assignment. However, the assignment must still be completed. The only exception will be for those students on extramural rotations. Prior arrangements must be made for handing in assignments at times other than designated due dates.
Academic Integrity:
The very nature of higher education requires that students adhere to accepted standards of academic integrity. Therefore, Pueblo Community College has adopted a policy of academic conduct as described in the Student Handbook. Violation of academic integrity may be defined to include the following: cheating, plagiarism, falsification and fabrication, abuse of academic materials, complicity in academic dishonesty, and personal misrepresentation. It is the student’s responsibility to be aware of the behaviors that constitute academic dishonesty. Sanctions for violating the standards of academic integrity may include warning, probation, suspension, and/or failure of the course or assignment at the discretion of the instructor.
